I can't immunize completely, and get this pop up:

"On a default Vista (& windows 7) installation (meaning UAC is enabled), you cannot immunize the whole system
unless you elevate the immunizer. If you have told immunization to not offer this again, you can get it back in settings".

How do I elevate the immunizer?

It always tells me I'm not an administrator as well, but lets me act as one.

Does it mean update?

I can download the updates fine. I can't get all of them to "protect" in immunization.

I've used SB, but on XP. I've always had to immunize twice. Other than that, I can't help much.

I don't have Spybot, but I found this:

On Vista, you need to run the immunization elevated, otherwise all global immunizations will fail. To elevate, right-click the Spybot-S&D shortcut and choose Run as Administrator

Here is a link to the forum where I got that:

If this still does not help, you might consider joining one more forum: http://forums.spybot.info/

looks like I have to right click, then select run as administrator every time, but it works for now.
